A representative of the regional development BDC told the select board the organization asks towns for $3 per resident annually to support regional programs and offered the town printed copies of a community survey. The presenter identified themselves as the director of regional strategies and said those funds leverage additional federal and regional funds to support workforce development and infrastructure programs.
